INSPECTION DETAILS

Here is a step-by-step guide to inspecting a photovoltaic solar energy system for a residential or commercial client:

​

• Obtain system information: Before beginning the inspection, it's important to obtain all necessary system information, such as the age of the system, its capacity, and any warranty information.

​

• Review documentation: Review all documentation related to the system, including installation plans, permits, and inspection reports.

​

• Safety inspection: Begin by conducting a safety inspection of the system to ensure that all electrical components are properly grounded and that there are no exposed wires or other hazards.

​

• Panel inspection: Inspect all solar panels to ensure that they are securely mounted and that there are no signs of physical damage or cracks on the panels.

​

• Wiring inspection: Inspect all wiring to ensure that it is properly installed and that there are no loose connections or damaged wires.

​

• Inverter inspection: Inspect the inverter to ensure that it is properly functioning and that there are no signs of physical damage or overheating.

​

• Monitoring system inspection: If the system has a monitoring system, inspect it to ensure that it is properly functioning and that there are no errors or malfunctions.

​

• Performance testing: Conduct performance testing on the system to ensure that it is producing the expected level of energy. This can be done by comparing the actual output to the estimated output provided by the system design or installation plans.

​

• Report generation: Generate a detailed report that includes all findings from the inspection, along with recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

​

• Follow-up inspection: If any repairs or upgrades are made to the system, conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure that they were properly completed and that the system is functioning as expected.
